Integrity Fire Glass (E & EW) in Hamilton: what's included
Integrity fire glass, classified E, stops flames and hot gases passing for the rated time but does not limit the heat coming through. EW glass adds a cap on the heat radiated through the glass. Both are thinner, lighter and cheaper than fully insulated glass.
- Modified toughened integrity glass
- Polished wired glass where still appropriate
- Impact-classified integrity options
- Glass-ceramic and borosilicate integrity glass
What to check before ordering integrity fire glass in Hamilton
Where integrity glass fits
Integrity-only glass may be acceptable in some fire-resisting partitions, screens and doors, often at high level, within the limits national guidance sets. Compartment walls normally need insulating (EI) glazing.
Limits on escape routes
Building guidance restricts how much integrity-only glass can be used on protected escape routes and where it can sit. Check the route before choosing E glass.
Not insulating
E glass gets hot in a fire. Furniture or stored materials beside it can ignite from radiated heat.

Fire glazing rules in Scotland
Scotland Which rules apply?
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
